Ikea lights

[vratenza]

I'm electronically challanged...so got to ask this before I electrocute myself or burn down my house.

I have an ikea work lamp that stated that it can take up to 75W but the bulb that Ikea sold with it is only 11W energy saving kind. I was searching the net and found that they have various CFL (those spiral kind) lights from 25W up to 100W using the E26 base size.

My question is: can I replace the 11W bulb with a 50w bulb so long as it is the same base size and within the 75W limit?

Thinking of using it for my up coming terrarium project as I cannot find a decent wattage 1 feet light...

Thanks!

should be able, as long it still below the 75W limit.

got myself this today







with no proper reflectors, it's not going to be really efficient...but no choice since I can't find a decent wattage 1 feet light.
